Marcus Property Group

Houses for sober living and recovery programs

We lease whole co-living houses to vetted recovery housing operators on a master lease. You set the house rules, place residents and run the program. We provide a turnkey house near public transit and stay the landlord.

Why does the house matter in recovery housing?

A recovery home depends on routine, and routine depends on the building. A kitchen that works for a shared table. Enough bathrooms that mornings do not turn into a standoff. Bedrooms with doors that close. A living room big enough for a house meeting.

Location matters too. Residents are often getting to work, to appointments and to meetings, and not everyone has a car. That is why every house we lease sits near public transit.

What does the operator handle?

You do. Resident agreements, house rules, staffing, and everything that makes your program yours stays with your organization. We do not screen or place residents, and we do not set program policy. Our role is the house and the lease.

What about licensing and local rules?

Rules for recovery residences differ by state and often by city, including how a shared house is classified and whether your program needs certification or a license. We ask early what your program is required to hold, and we expect the operator to confirm local requirements before a lease is signed. We are happy to talk through the house's details to help you check.

Questions from recovery operators

More on the full FAQ.

Does Marcus Property Group screen or place residents?

No. The operator places and manages residents. We are the landlord and do not run the program.

Do I need a license to lease a house for sober living?

That depends on your state and city. We ask what your program is required to hold, and we expect the operator to hold it and to confirm local rules before the lease.
